    <p>
      This site aims to be a <i>curated</i> collection of useful information
      about the <a href="https://www.texmacs.org">GNU TeXmacs</a> document preparation system.
    </p>
    <p>
      We want it to be useful both to new users, to seasoned users and to the
      developers and people who are generally interested in the inner workings
      of the program. Our hope is that gathering general information and
      consolidating user knowledge in one place will improve the user
      experience and help to build a healthy community around the system.
    </p>
    <p>
      In order to reach this goal we choose the format of a blog more than a
      wiki. Contributions are welcome in the form of pull requests (PR) to the
      main <tt>git</tt> repository at <tt>github</tt>. There is a &ldquo;small
      and opinionated&rdquo; group of admin which will review the
      contributions, edit them and integrate them in the site. 
    </p>
    <p>
      For the technical details of making a PR with <tt>git</tt> please look
      at the <a href="./contribution-guide.html">contribution guide</a>.
    </p>
    <p>
      Content should be informative for a wide audience of users and/or
      developers of the system or should help to build the community. In order
      to maximise the success of a PR please take into account these
      considerations regarding the scope and form of the content you would
      like to propose. Example of  content:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li>
        <p>
          Articles on adding new features or customizations. Notes on packages
          and style files written by users should include a link to a download
          location (e.g. <class style="font-variant: small-caps">Github</class>, <class style="font-variant: small-caps">Sourceforge</class>
          or personal websites); we will list these articles in one of the
          blog's webpages and we hope in this way to build up a database of
          TeXmacs extensions written by users.
